In an exclusive interview with @MT/Sprout, our founder and CPO @Ewout Ruijs discusses our technology, plans for scaling up and ReCarbn’s journey from academia to startup. MT/Sprout is a Dutch platform for entrepreneurs behind rapidly growing startups, providing insights, cases, and activities to support next-generation business leadership.
We’re pleased to announce a strategic partnership between ReCarbn and Bouman Industries, solidified over the past months of collaborative efforts.
Project Overview:
Last year, we announced that we deliver and install a Direct Air Capture (DAC) unit with the capacity to remove 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year to the site of project developer Deep Sky in Canada.
Our CCO Sophia Hummelman was featured on national radio at BNR Nieuwsradio last Monday. Curious to hear more about our mission, technology, and the next steps in scaling up our technology?

MONTRÉAL and UTRECHT (December 19, 2023) — Deep Sky, a Montreal-based gigaton-scale carbon removal project developer, and ReCarbn, a Netherlands-based DAC company, have partnered to deploy carbon removal technology in Canada.
There are several ways of removing carbon from the atmosphere, they can be distributed in two main categories: technology-based and nature-based solutions. Both methods have their different ways of capturing CO₂ at different scale and cost.
Climate change is one of the most critical challenges for our planet today. The world is struggling with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and other alarming environmental changes. Innovative solutions are needed to encounter these challenges. The technology that has been developed by ReCarbn is called Direct Air Capture (DAC), which is one of the important tools in the fight against climate change.
We are excited to be part of Cohort 5 of the European Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Startup Accelerator Program hosted by Remove.
Remove is the premier European accelerator program focused solely on CDR, designed to support early-stage startups.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a key technology that can help us achieve our net-zero emission goals and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. According to the IPCC, up to 310 billion tons of CO₂ will need to be removed from the atmosphere just by using DAC between now and the end of this century. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions is critical, it’s not enough to reach net-zero emissions. We also need to remove the excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and that’s where direct air capture and storage comes in.
We are thrilled to participate in AirMiners’ Launchpad Batch 9, a carbon removal accelerator program for founders of early-stage carbon removal companies looking to rapidly gain traction for their business goals.
